Another exceptional client that Chen Immigration Law Associates had the pleasure of working with was an instructor and member of the research faculty at a prestigious medical school working in the field of biomedical engineering. His work had focused specifically on projects including the development of methods to cotranslationally incorporate unnatural amino acids into proteins as well as analyze the importance of stereoelectronic effects on peptide and protein structures. We at Chen Immigration Law Associates demonstrated that his continued employment in the field would not only benefit those in his field, but the citizens of the United States at large. To achieve success in this case, we submitted extensive documentation proving our client’s highly significant contributions to the field of biomedical engineering, including at least 15 peer-reviewed journal articles (10 of them first-authored), 4 US patents, and numerous papers at peer-reviewed conferences. This is an admirable record compared to that of his peers. Of his accomplishments, one of the independent recommenders remarked: “[Client’s] work has led to important developments in the medical application of nanotechnologies. This research is of demonstrable practical benefit, both to the healthcare system and its patients, as well as to the American economy as a whole.” Through extensive documentation, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates successfully argued that our client would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. His NIW application was approved in 2 months.
